looks like rendering adblockers extensions obsolete with manifest-v3 was not enough so now they try to implement DRM into the browser giving the ability to any website to refuse traffic to you if you don’t run a complaint browser ( cough…firefox )

here is an article in hacker news since i’m sure they can explain this to you better than i.

and also some github docs

    The US should break apart huge companies like google. Google in particular has WAY more power to shape the internet than any one company should have. Death to google!

      I agree on the first part, disagree on the second. I don’t want google to die, they have created some amazing products. I do want Google to be broken up though and for the various entities created from that to rethink about how to monetize the web. It simply can’t only be advertisements and harvesting their data.
